Ingredients

1 pound hot breakfast sausage
1/3 cup diced onion
1 (10-ounce) package frozen, chopped spinach thawed and the water squeezed out
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 loaves frozen bread dough thawed
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
1 large egg lightly beaten

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place sausage in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and then add onion.
Cook until no more pink in the sausage and the onion is soft.
Stir in Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
Remove from heat and stir in spinach.
Roll each piece of bread dough into a 9x13-inch rectangle.
Spread half the sausage mixture across each piece of dough.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top.
Roll each one up jellyroll-style. Pinch and tuck under the dough on the ends to seal. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Use a knife to cut about 6 small slits in the top of each one. Brush the dough with egg.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until browned. Serve hot.

Notes

You can easily cut this recipe in half if you only want one loaf.

If you don't want it spicy, use regular breakfast sausage.
